Food 4 Thought
Physical and mental health are seen as two halves of a whole and cannot be divorced one from the other. Building a spiritual relationship with God involves taking care of body and soul: “Since maintaining a healthy and sound body is among the ways of God - for one cannot understand or have any knowledge of the Creator, if he is ill - therefore, he must avoid that which harms the body and accustom himself to that which is healthful and helps the body become stronger.” Learn more about eating mindfully Jewish.

Instructions

To prepare wontons:

  • Combine all ingredients (except wrappers) in medium bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until chilled, about 10 minutes.
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay 3 wrappers on dry work surface. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of filling in center of wrapper, brush edges lightly with water, and fold wrapper in half.
  • Place wonton on baking sheet and repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  • Loosely cover wontons with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.

For the soup:

  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add ground beef, onion, garlic and ginger and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, cover partially and cook 25 minutes. Strain if you wish (I don’t do this).
  • Return strained broth to saucepan and bring to boil. Carefully add wontons, carrot and scallions and simmer until wontons are tender, about 5 minutes. Serve.
